Robyn Ah Mow Announces Retirement as University of Hawai'i Women's Volleyball Head Coach After nine years as the head coach of the University of Hawai'i women's volleyball program, Robyn Ah Mow has officially stepped down from her position. Ah Mow, who led the Rainbow Wahine through a transformative era, cited family priorities as the primary reason for her decision. "This wasn't an easy call to make," she said. "I've done a lot of soul searching, and right now the time has come to focus on my family. They've sacrificed so much to allow me to live out my dream of leading this program, and it's time I put them first." Ah Mow emphasized her commitment to the players, stating her goal was to "push these players to be the best they could be" while ensuring they "leave here as strong, successful women." Associate Head Coach Kaleo Baxter will serve as interim head coach while a national search for a permanent replacement is conducted. Ah Mow’s tenure concluded with a 165-72 overall record (.696 winning percentage) and a 114-28 mark (.803) in the Big West Conference. Her teams secured three consecutive Big West regular-season championships (2019, 2021, 2022) and two consecutive Big West Championship titles (2023, 2024). She guided the 'Bows to seven NCAA Tournament appearances, including a run to the NCAA Regional Semifinals in 2019. Ah Mow was named Big West Coach of the Year three times (2019, 2021, 2022) and earned AVCA Pacific North Region Coach of the Year honors in 2019. Ah Mow’s legacy at the University of Hawai'i extends beyond her coaching achievements. She succeeded legendary coach Dave Shoji in 2017, continuing a tradition of excellence that dates back to her playing days.#big_west_conference #university_of_hawai_i #kaleo_baxter #robyn_ah_mow #uh_athletics_director
